Record Your Conference

All conference calls can be recorded for future playback. Calls including PowerPoint presentations are recorded with both the audio and visuals synchronized for playback over the web. Access to these recordings is controlled by the host, and the files are available for download, from the host's account. Recording of a call can be started either automatically, or manually. [Callers do not need Power Point installed on their computers to view Power Point presentations.]

Call Detail

Extensive detail for your call is stored afterwards and available to the host. Details include call day, time, duration, cost, and any recorded information. In addition, Spiderphone can include names, phone numbers, organization, and e-mail addresses, which are captured as each participant logs on via the web. If they do not join on the web, the info may be added by someone on the web during the call. Call detail is stored and accessible to the host for up to 12 months.

Your Host Account

Your account, which is password protected and accessible by only you, has permanent dial-in numbers and conference codes, thus eliminating the need for a different set of numbers for every conference. Of course, you have the option of unique conference codes if required.

Your account can also have an accounting code assigned to it to allow easy cost allocation of all your charges.

A Billing Code field is also available when making a reservation, allowing you to identify each call with a name or code. Online access to all of your account activities (Account Information; Reservations; Invoice/account activity; and Recordings) is available 24 hours a day; 7 days a week, via the Internet.

Who Should Have a Host Account

Participants joining a conference call do not need a Spiderphone host account. Anyone who arranges conference calls should have their own account for security and accountability benefits. Sign up is easy: use your credit card to set it up at Spiderphone.com or contact us at Spiderphone Customer Care: 877-877-1585.

The Cost Effective Conference Solution

There are no minimums, upfront costs, monthly fees, or commitments to open and maintain your Spiderphone parent account and any number of sub-accounts. There are no expensive downloads or licenses required. In addition to our risk-free, "pay-as-you-go" pricing structure, we also offer demo and testing credits as you evaluate and/or begin using the service.

Want Extra Help? Moderator Assisted Calls

Spiderphone is designed to be entirely self-service, providing all of the tools needed to manage your conference calls. However, if you would like one of our specialists to moderate your call, they can handle many conference tasks such as dialing out to participants, managing the recording and audio controls, sharing presentations and documents, as well as managing your Q&A session..

Smarter Invoicing

Spiderphone lets you take control of your conference calls even after they're done, by providing clear and concise accountability information. Your Invoice is detailed by the call and summarized by each host account. Then it's rolled up to a single Invoice for the entire company and e-mailed to the parent account holder.

The Invoice can also summarize in more detail things such as Department/Location, Accounting Charge Codes as well as individual call Billing Codes.

You can view your account Invoice online in your account section of the website.

Easy Terms

Spiderphone offers two payment solutions:

• Automatic Monthly Debit to a personal or corporate credit card
• Direct Billing with payment is due upon receipt of the invoice, payable within the month received.

What Do I Need?

Spiderphone requires no downloads or special software when using the web features. All you need is a connection to the Internet, and a browser with Java and cookies enabled, with moderate security settings that allow you to view SSL pages. When sharing PowerPoint presentations, your callers do not need PowerPoint installed on their computers.

For Application and Desktop Sharing a small one-time download may be required.

Security At Every Step

Spiderphone is committed to the security and privacy of your calls and information, at every stage. SSL encryption protects user data during account set-up and conference calls. Account information, reservations, invoice/account activity and recordings are password protected and controlled by the host. Distribution of conference information is also controlled by the host. Enter and exit tones, participant list, and talker ID provides security during the call. Any files which are uploaded into a conference are swept from our servers daily. State-of-the-art back office processes and controls complete your security protection.

Personalized Website Customization

For higher volume users, Spiderphone offers a customized, customer-branded conferencing website, where the voice prompts, logos and colors are yours, and the functionality is all Spiderphone.

Support, Training & Conference Planning

Our customer care professionals are available to provide account set-up and management, features training, and planning assistance in support of all of your conferencing needs.
